Detailed observation of presented data
The headline: Consulting click-through-rates ran meaningfully above the global median and finished the year with a material lift into mid‑2026. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Consulting across all countries available compared to the global benchmark.
Consulting CTRs started at 2.49% in June 2025 and closed at 3.72% in June 2026 — a roughly 49% increase from start to finish. Across the 13‑month window the median Consulting CTR averaged about 2.78%, peaking at 3.72% (June 2026) and troughing at 2.38% (October 2025). By contrast the global baseline averaged about 2.00% over the same period, with a high of roughly 2.17% and a low near 1.78%.
In absolute terms Consulting ran about 0.78 percentage points higher than the global benchmark on average. In relative terms that’s approximately +39% above global CTRs overall. Monthly behavior showed notable moves: a modest autumn dip into October 2025 was followed by a 0.40‑point November rebound, a strong January–February 2026 lift, a March pullback, and then a sustained rally from April through a 0.47‑point spike in June 2026.
Volatility was elevated for Consulting: average month‑to‑month movement (absolute) was ~0.19 percentage points, roughly three times the baseline’s ~0.06‑point monthly rhythm. That higher volatility produced sharper peaks and deeper interim swings versus the smoother global trend.
Seasonal rhythm is visible: late Q3 into October 2025 showed a softening (2.49% → 2.38%), then an abrupt November surge to 2.78%. Early 2026 delivered consecutive stronger months (January–February near 2.94%–2.98%), a March contraction to 2.74%, and a renewed upward momentum through June’s 3.72%. The consulting curve reads as a pattern of mid‑quarter dips followed by concentrated rebounds, particularly across year‑end into Q1 and then a second half acceleration into early summer.
The global baseline moved more gradually: modest rises across Q4 and Q1 with smaller month‑to‑month swings, lacking the pronounced spikes that defined the Consulting series.
Throughout the period Consulting CTRs were consistently above the global benchmark. The gap ranged from a narrow ~21% above global (October 2025) to a wide ~78% premium (June 2026). Where the global trend climbed moderately (~17% from June 2025 to June 2026), Consulting’s growth was steeper (~49%), producing a widening premium into mid‑2026. Consulting’s pattern was also materially more volatile — higher amplitude swings versus the baseline’s steadier cadence.

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs
Click-Through Rate (CTR) is the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click on the Facebook ad. In the Consulting industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. Geographic targeting affects ad costs based on market competition and user engagement in different regions. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. Why we use median instead of average We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

CTR (Click-Through Rate) is the percentage of people who click your ad after seeing it. It's calculated by dividing total clicks by total impressions, then multiplying by 100. A high CTR indicates your ad resonates with your audience and helps improve your relevance score, which can lower your overall costs.
The average Facebook ad CTR across industries sits around 0.90-1.10%. But there's significant variation. Your specific industry, audience targeting, and campaign objectives should determine your benchmark.
Low CTR usually stems from poor audience targeting, weak creative, or a disconnect between your ad content and audience needs. Your ad might simply not be standingo out enough. Check if your visuals grab attention, your copy addresses clear pain points, and your audience targeting aligns with people genuinely interested in your offer.
Yes—but only in context. High CTR is a signal that your creative works, but it doesn't guarantee conversions. Use it alongside other metrics like conversion rate to get the full picture.
